The Dew Drop Inn Virtual Rugby Pub, Pyongyang

First topic message reminder :

Hello and welcome to the Virtual Rugby Pub, a place where you can come in for a sly beverage and discuss whatever's on your mind, or just eavesdrop on the regulars if you fancy a break from all the rugby chat.

The pub has made its way to Pyongyang in a bid to persuade Kim Jong Un to pack away the missiles, grab a beer and watch the rugby.

The only rule in this pub is one of mutual respect for everyone in it, oh and no tampering with the pictures of Donal Walsh, Chris & the late Hannah Eaton, the retiring Marcus Horan, the recently hospitalised Schalk Burger (with meningitis), the recuperated Jacques Burger, and the three-peating ANBL champion NZ Breakers

Get stuck in, Prop - you've earned it!

It was a really enjoyable game of rugby Stag, good crowd and a beautiful evening for it, too.

Will you get feedback from the Munster fans you got tickets for? If you do, ask them if they know what happened after CJ Stander's try. All 30 players got involved but I don't know what sparked it.

It sounded it. Typical; the one game that wasn't bloody televised.

Penfro and Prop - massive congratulations on winning the championship.

This is funny, not sure Gibbo will be impressed though with picks 9 and 10 ....

wow rodders what a read...

I much prefer the idea of the 10 most underrated players in world rugby!!!

That would be even more subjective though Blues

Idea for a thread; the 10 most overrated players in Irish Rugby.

My estimated outcome... 600+ pages, two bannings, and £3000 pounds worth of damages to computer hardware.

Sounds about right

Get on this!

Congratulations you six-fingered knuckle-dragging cousin-fecker from Castle Grim, you obviously earned it - unlike those cherry poisy-bois you waste your life supporting.

Listen to this carefully, because I will say this only once: Which charity should benefit from my £100?

Gloucester were clearly the better team this season and, deservedly, will finish above Bath in the final standings.

Put in a taxi at 9pm and hungover already....

Congratulations, Prop and Penfro. Great stuff!

We only agreed £10 PJ!! I'll have a quick think and let you know fella.....one day you'll win the bet

My enjoyment of this replay if the Scarlets gave is being severely hampered by the S4C commentary. I know you have to be Cardiffcentric but is there also a "make it blydi obvious" clause?

Both sides are guilty of not knowing how to link up following a clean break.

A peculiar accusation against the Scarlets. Normally thats their bread and butter.

Nice one prop.

Woohoo! Five points for Leinster and back into home semi-final position.

Just seen the highlights of the Ospreys match and one of the worst refereeing decisions ever by Elaine Rowlands. It's actually comical.

What did he do?

Allowed a Glasgow player to come from the Osprey scrum half position into a ruck and do a flop pass back to his own side "it's OK he was the tackler"

Bore da pawb / good morning all. Another day, another pound. (That doesn't have the same ring to it, does it?)

I haven't heard that one before!

Really sad news - Chrissy Amphlett dead at 53. She was a real character on stage.

http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/chrissy-amphlett-dead-at-53-20130422-2ia30.html

She once threw a jug of iced water (almost empty) over me at the Bluegum Hotel, Waitara in about 1985. I felt honoured!

That is a shame, Breaker - so young, too. 'I Touch Myself' is a bit of a classic.

So Liverpool have fined Luis Suarez (an undisclosed amount) for biting Branislav Ivanovic. That's crap because a) he won't miss the money, and b) it doesn't hurt the club in any real sense. Yes, the FA might ban him anyway, but if the club had any integrity they would have dropped him from the match-day squad for the next few games, maybe for the rest of the season. As it is, they're saying they're happy for a player who bit an opponent (bit an opponent!) to run out for them in their next match.

That was the big international hit but I really like 'Good Die Young', 'Sleeping Beauty' and 'Science Fiction'. There's going to be a special tribute show in her honour later tonight on Max.

'I Touch Myself' is the only Divinyls song I've heard. I might have to remedy that.

Sorry mate, I got sidetracked reading page after page in the "News" section.

Yeah, have a listen to some of the early Divinyls songs. They had some brilliant musicians (Rick Grossman, basist... Frank Infante from Blondie, Mark McEntee had a unique guitar style) but there was always some friction between band members. It made for a quite raw & aggressive sound early on but they also did some tongue-in-cheek stuff (not sure if that's the right description) which are quite simple and catchy. Chrissie was a real handful - provocateur, 'look but don't touch', high-risk type artist. She put on that strange gravely voice and she also had a fake girly one in some songs... taking the pi55 out of blokes of course.

Enjoy

What a waste of champagne, prop.


Nice little video.

Evening pub.

Wow!!!!

That is Sooooo cooooool!

Well done Prop and Penfro. Absolutely chuffed for you both.

How long till they make you guys the 5th region?

Morning

Think you might find yourself a wee bit late for your work today, Cari.

Cari!

Are you working on Eastern Standard Time or something?

Or have you got a terrible "satellite" delay on your internet connection?

Mrs P, I've sent you a message on Facebook

Oh dear, that's the end of Paul Hollywood's Bread series. Waah! Although must say there's quite a few of his recipes that I wouldn't try - too rich, too sweet, too complicated.

Take a look at "Pleasure and Pain". Here it is.

Are you ok Cari? I hope you haven't been ill or something.

Morning has Bro-KEN...

Has somebody died?

Curses! Too late putting out the recycling AGAIN. Sorry, Climate Change watchers, there's going to be a bonfire. Good thing I only read newspapers on line these days.

Only 76 more to go. One net person gain every 83 seconds. Greater than both China and India at 1.7% growth.

Yay

It's like the Kidney clock in reverse.
